Calculate a Romania IBAN
Where to find it
On the account holder’s bank statement, in their online or mobile banking under account details, or on the invoice of a supplier who wants to be paid by transfer. If you only have the bank code and account number, ask the bank for the IBAN (or use the calculator above where it is offered), then confirm it with the beneficiary.
Questions
- How many characters is a Romania IBAN?
- 24, always starting with RO. In print it is written in groups of four: RO49 AAAA 1B31 0075 9384 0000.
- Can I pay a Romania IBAN by SEPA?
- Yes, in euro. Romania is in the SEPA area, so a euro transfer to this IBAN needs no SWIFT code and usually arrives the same or next business day.
- Does a valid IBAN mean the account exists?
- No. The check digits prove the number is well-formed, which catches almost every typo. Only the beneficiary’s bank can confirm the account is open and in their name.
